Dota 2 Update Adds New Heroes

There's a new Dota 2 update in town, and it's bringing friends (in the form of three new heroes). It's also got an array of various fixes -- click through for the rundown, as well as videos of the newest heroes.

PC Gamer has a nice list of what we can expect from the new heroes. Nyx Assassin is an insect-like thing that was built for impaling. The Keeper of Light pretty much obliterates stuff with superpowered light beams. Finally, Visage is the kind of jerk who'd rather lay down some debilitating debuffs than kill someone swiftly and mercifully.

Additionally, a thread on the Dota 2 forums has the deets on the fixes. Most notable is that there's now a forced cooldown on people who decline or abandon matches. Other than that, a slew of minor fixes have been implemented across the board.
